Bruce Leasure is an experienced competitor with over 15 years and 70
contests, Bruce can help you understand how to get the most out of a
dance contest, and to improve your chances of achieving your contest goals.

Bruce has made almost all of the mistakes that are possible at a dance
contest, and his forgiving, wonderful, beautiful, and perfect dance
partner not only still dances with him, but they are still on speaking
terms. (Now that is surviving a dance contest!)

We hope to see you all there!
